Planning to go on holiday in May with my 7 month old, he’s formula fed, what do I do about formula and bringing boiled water and rapid cool to the airport etc? And also where do I put the ready made bottles? It’s stressing me out!

My little boy who is nearly 10 weeks takes 3oz every 2-3 hours. I worry it isn’t enough! I was at one point giving him 4oz but he was so uncomfortable afterwards. He was sometimes finishing the full 4oz but it wasn’t very often. He is gaining weight fine and wakes maybe twice during the night. He is now 11pound 1. H...

Hey guys so I posted a few weeks ago asking about formula. I’m going back to work next month and my baby is breastfed. For reference I work night shifts on weekends and my baby still has milk at night. That’s why I am trying to give him formula during the nights. However I no longer produce enough to pump and brea...

Hello Girlies, My LO is exclusively on formula since she was born. Now she is almost 3 months old and whoever sees her says she is thin and not that chubby like a baby who feeds on breast milk. I want to know that babies who are on formula milk don't gain much weight ? Are they average weight gainers ? How do I inc...

My 7 month old boy, who is EBF, doesn't seem to be satisfied with his milk anymore. He gets frustrated after a feed and will eat loads of solids straight after. Could this mean I no longer produce enough milk for him? Should I supplement with formula? He started waking frequently for a feed too, which led to cosleep...

Hey moms. Is anyone struggling to keep getting baby to take milk? We started solids with some veggie purees couple of weeks ago and my boy is so keen I'm already giving him puree twice a day usually after milk - can take up to 10 teaspoons at each feed. But the milk intake has dropped significantly and he barely dri...

I’m hoping to mainly breastfeed but am planning to get a tub of formula in case I have a hard time and need to supplement. Does anyone have thoughts on the organic Kendamil powder? After tons of comparing and research I’m not finding a ton of differences between the many options out there.

Has anybody used the nuby cool bottles for rapid cool of formula? I was thinking about getting them but heard mixed reviews

Does anybody know if RPH provides the small pre-made formula bottles for baby’s after birth? I do want to try to BF but just wondering if I’m not successful, do I have to take my own or do the hosp provide them. Thanks x

We have recently been attempting to get my Son to take a bottle of expressed milk for my partner to help me with night feeds, particularly during this regression as I am beyond exhausted now. My Son is really underweight due to losing lots of weight in NICU and then having severe reflux which we have only just got ...

When did everyone stop using prep machine water for their babies? Along with when did everyone stop sterilising their bottles? My son still has bottle in morning and night just of cows milk but I’m really anxious about stopping sterilising his bottles. He has water or a drop of juice in water during the day from t...

My 5 month old baby is teething and in last few weeks seems to have gone off his milk. He has bottles throughout the day but rarely finishes them, he has reflux so I only give him 4oz at a time. He is waking in the night for feeds, but just feel he doesn’t have much of an appetite through out the day. Is this normal ?

Since day 1 she had dhirrea even though she has had this formula since birth I have been given her one bottle at least a day. I have seen the health visitor and the gp on Thursday. The gp checked her over and said to m...

Will still wake up frequently in the night and only go back to sleep with a bottle Just wondering if anyone else went through this and how you...
